Banarasi Sarees - Satin

Both Mashroo and Satin sarees have a reputation for timeless elegance, but offer a very different texture and feel. Mashroo is a traditional fabric with silk on top and cotton at the back. It is easy to wear with an impeccable shine and a bright, stunning look. Its evolution goes back centuries when the need was to have clingy silk with the comfort of cotton. Satin, on the other hand, is woven with a special weave formation, giving pure silk with a very smooth, shiny surface on either side. These sarees drape well, and gorgeously, and exude elegance, making them apt for celebrations and formal occasions. While Mashroo has deep-rooted historical and artistic connotations, Satin silk translates into the elegance and style of all times.

Crafted on traditional looms with the satin weave method, satin Banarasi sarees for women have a luxurious, glossy finish along with a great drape and body. Unlike lighter Banarasi options like Katan, organza, or georgette, satin weaving allows the weft threads to float over several warp threads. This creates a soft, shiny surface with a subtly matte back.

Each saree starts with processed and dyed silk yarns set up on the loom. The motif design, called “Likhai,” is guided by Jacquard punched cards. Skilled artisans, often working in pairs, weave fine silk with metallic zari to form detailed floral, paisley, or Mughal-style designs. This process results in a thick, compact brocade that differs from simpler pleats or stripes. The final product is a richly textured fabric that works well for evening or celebratory events. It has a satin-like sheen and a stylish silhouette that sets it apart from other kinds of Banarasi sarees.

At Priyanka Raajiv, each satin Banarasi saree is a labour of love—never mass-produced, but patiently handwoven on traditional handlooms. Every thread is treated with reverence, woven with deep care, and guided by a deep admiration for age-old craftsmanship. These sarees are not merely soft to the touch—they carry an unparalleled legacy of worn stories passed down through varied generations.

A saree made of Banarasi satin is more than just a piece of cloth. It can become a cherished heirloom. The softness and the subtle shine of a silky Banarasi saree reflect years of skilled craftsmanship and intricate weaving. But the beauty of the fabric is fragile, and as with all fine things, it will only flourish with care. Before wrapping or preparing your saree to be worn again, a little care will preserve its beauty for years to come.

Thus, here are some care tips to retain the lustrous aesthetics of a Banarasi Satin Saree:

• Dry clean only—will help retain the sheen and zari work of the saree
• Avoid sunlight—store in a cool, dry, dark place to avoid fading
• Fold with a muslin cloth—avoids creasing and protects from moisture
• Iron with low heat using a cotton cloth over it to prevent direct contact

Conclusion

Our magnificent satin Banarasi sarees are perfectly made for the individual who dreams of gracefully flowing drapes with a shimmering sheen. Every drape shows the brilliance of Indian Heritage—just for YOU.

FAQs

Q1. Can we wash satin saree?
Satin sarees are very delicate to retain their luster. In the case of any ornamentation, including embroidery, it is better to dry-clean it. Should you wish to wash these by yourself, do so with the mildest detergent and cold water, and do not twist or wring to avoid creasing.

Q2. Can satin be ironed?
Yes, but with added caution. Make sure to put the temperature on low and cover the satin with an absorbent cotton material to protect it from direct heat. A touch of steam is magic for iron satin: it softens the fabric without the danger of burning.

Q3. Is a satin saree comfortable to wear?
Satin sarees are light and smooth. So they are easy to wear in the evening and on special occasions. But satin is slippery and soft, requiring care while draping and pinning lest they slip off.

Q4. How to remove stains from satin?
Doze does not rub; satin is fragile and could lose its luster. For oil spots, cover with a small amount of talcum powder to absorb the oil and blot with a mild cleaner. Badly stained clothes should be sent to the dry cleaner.

Q5. What is satin made of?
Satin is not a fiber but a weave: Generally, satin may be composed of silk, polyester, or a combination of the two, and what comes out is a silky smooth finish and rich drape. Silk satin is breathable and high-priced, but polyester satin is tougher and offers good care capacity.
